No case of defamation or compensation may be maintainable against them on account of your mother's death which is only "remotely" linked with the unfortunate incidents happened in your sister's married life.

You may rather concentrate on the matrimonial dispute of your sister; and try to reach an amicable out of court settlement as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary litigation costs and tiring court procedures.

you may first get the case transferred from gzb to delhi courts by filing a transfer petition in the SC and then you can include this grievance of yours in your complaint under DV act and claim compensation. the offence of defamation can be made out in case due to words uttered or written by the husband or his parents have directed affected the reputation of your mother in eyes of right minded people of the society. in case you can prove that, your case is made out.
